Unless she has a diagnosed disorder where she can receive affection but not know how to give it in return, yes, I would want to leave. Just different personality types open up differently. Mr. Darcy wasn't the most affectionate man at first.
If I felt that we’d exhausted every possible way of rectifying the situation then yes. Unless of course there were extenuating circumstances involved like physical or mental illness.

Maybe eventually, but once theres children at home, theyre more important than your partners affection

Yes. I've left people for that reason. I tried to be there despite them lying to my face lol. I tried to go the extra mile and I did. I made efforts. Tried to love them to end up feeling alone, empty and unappreciated. Maybe if I was appreciated then it was when I was needed to fix something for them.
So I left. Never looked back. I don't feel bad for being alone but to feel alone in a relationship is more hurtful and it's even hurtful when you never meant anything to them but always feel compared to lol.

Probably yes -- the earlier in the relationship the more likely.
However, in a long established relationship, I tend to ask my husband before contemplating an exit.
"I notice we haven't shared many kisses or cuddles in the last couple of weeks. I'm wondering if you're feeling angry or resentful about anything. Would you be willing for us to talk about it?"
Then it's my turn to really listen and check that I understand.

@hartfire great tip

Yes. I'm signing up for a lifetimes supply of affection. I'm a very affectionate person. I love pda. I love holding my boyfriends hand in public. I love hugging and kissing him and I especially love having sex with him. It's a huge part of my love language because it helps me feel connected to him on every level. I have needs that I refuse to compromise on. I want a lover not a friend.

@PinkMoon yessss. I loved this

We would have our WTF conversation and if I were not happy with the outcome...gone!
I can't imagine how that would feel. I am a very well-kept and tended wife of a loving husband.

My answer depends on how much money he has 😀
goodlil666 · 51-55, M
Yes, I did just that.
Fish2fry90 · 31-35, F
@goodlil666 does it make you feel a bit unloved with they dont show you the same affection?
goodlil666 · 51-55, M

Affection must be mutual, and these "needs" for lack of a better term, should have been discussed early on. If they're not met, then yes, it's grounds for leaving a relationship.
Pinkstarburst · 51-55, F
It would depend on the many circumstances that may have caused it.
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@Pinkstarburst That's a very intelligent answer.
Pinkstarburst · 51-55, F
@Nitedoc I have my moments
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@Pinkstarburst I believe you.
BabyDolls · 22-25, T
I wanna say yes but truthfully the amount of disrespect I’ve took before leaving relationships is far from okay😅
Beautywithin · 36-40, F
Depends, how long it had been the reason why ?! If its because he didnt find me attractive or want me anymore then yes no doubt I'd leave.
Probably not. It takes a lot to make me give up on a committed relationship.
luckranger71 · 51-55, M
Yes. Life is too short. Unless there’s some real unusual extenuating circumstances.
Yes. I'm working up the courage to let someone go.
Rokan · 31-35, M

If it became clear that they were repulsed by me, yeah, I’d probably move on…🥺

No I'd leave a jealous partner first
